Volunteer

Helpline Volunteer

Helpline volunteers answer calls to our helplines from our Auckland or Christchurch call centres. This is an opportunity to learn and work within a highly supportive team with full training and supervision provided. Skills can contribute towards other educational development. In return we ask for a commitment of a minimum of 3 shifts per month as well as a monthly supervision meeting. Shift times can fit around your schedule and can include daytime, evenings and weekends.

Specialist Counselling Volunteer

Lifeline provides specialist counselling via its Auckland centre and via online counselling. Qualified and experienced counsellors volunteer some of their time to help those who turn to Lifeline in need of counselling. Counsellors are well supervised and have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients. There are also opportunities for volunteer counsellors to participate in ongoing training and development.
